Ken takes over Dropping Science, letting us know that probing determines that Uranus smells like farts because deep down, we're all eleven years old. Cassie brings the latest in Dino News, in which we still don't find out whether dinosaurs quack, but discover that Jurrassic World: Fallen Kingdom comes out June 22.

Cassie brings us the latest in Dino News, in which paleontologists have found bird fossils in China that may be ancestors of the present-day cassowary. (But we still don't know if dinosaurs quacked like a duck.) Will It Suck: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. And after that we interview MC Frontalot extensively, during which we talk about his upcoming tour, the right way for Ken to talk into his fancy microphone, the mystery of whose idea it was for Front's song I'll Form the Head, old school televisions, and a whole lotta politics. We get Front to rap! Front doesn't remember what his favorite dinosaur was growing up, but now it's the pterodactl (which he wasn't aware is no longer a thing). And at the end, we include MC Hawking's remix of Front's song Mountain Kind! Recipe: The Gingito In a pitcher, add: 8-10 crushed mint leaves 1 oz. key lime juice 2 oz. Bacardi 151 2 oz.

MC Hawking's Podcore Nerdcast Episode 3.02: YTCracker In this episode of MC Hawking's Podcore Nerdcast, Ken, Len, Cassie and special guest YTCracker talk about the fact that the Alphabet Song (ABCs), Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, and Baa Baa Black Sheep are all the same tune, but Baa Baa Black Sheep in particular is kind of a messed up song. Cassie brings the latest in Dino News: glittery feathers found on 120 million-year-old flying dinosaur, a member of the enantiornithines group which we're now calling the tinyshinysaur. We make YT tell us about the time he for reals hacked NASA when he was a wee lad of seventeen, which leads him to explain Frédéric Bastiat's Parable of the Broken Window. On Dropping Science, Len talks about scientists in China who plan to use CRISPR to hack human DNA in an attempt to fight cancer. Also, there's a brand of vape juice called Nerdcore. MC Hawking dials in to the podcast to catch up with the gang. In Everybody Wants to Rule the World, YT proposes making computer security education compulsory, and the gang concurs. We talk about computers, AI, and augmented reality for a while. YT doesn't really have anything in particular to plug right now, but you should follow him on Twitter at @realytcracker, and check him out on BandCamp. MC Hawking dials in again to remind YT about the track they're recording together. For Jame's Cocktail Corner, we drank Fader-Aid, a drink suggested by int eighty of Dual Core during our last episode.
